This panel will examine the principles that have emerged from the resolved boundary disputes in the Caribbean and the competing positions that have been taken on those that remain unresolved. Quite a few boundaries have been resolved through negotiations, one dispute (between Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago) has recently been resolved by an arbitral panel, the dispute between Suriname and Guyana remains pending, several (involving Nicaragua and its neighbors) have been presented to the International Court of Justice, and others are still in the discussion stage. Panelists involved in some of these disputes will provide background and analysis for the disputes.
